The beginning date was initially August 29 in Miami, nevertheless it was moved ahead to permit extra time for Madonna, a infamous perfectionist, to get every part good.
The comparatively modest performance saw her put a lot less flesh on show.
Madonna enlisted designers including Alexander Wang and Jeremy Scott to create costumes for the tour.
She added, “You could say it’s reinventing, but a real artist is continuously changing and evolving because the art is continuously changing and evolving”.
The Rebel Heart Tour, which is produced by Live Nation Global Touring, includes stops in 20 North American cities and 16 cities in the United Kingdom and Europe by the end of 2015, and the tour is scheduled to continue in the US, Australia, New Zealand and Asia in 2016.
Madonna generously offers up some of her most fondly remembered hits, and manages to perform a large chunk of Rebel Heart without making it feel like she’s forcing new stuff down old fans’ throats.
